Scope Note:

Footage recording a live event, such as a Congressional hearing or floor debate (such as broadcast on C-SPAN), a funeral of a famous person (such as FDR, JFK, Princess Diana, Mother Teresa), or a scientific experiment. Such footage is generally unedited beyond necessary changes in camera angles, and the shots are in the original sequence in which the events took place, without subsequent editing. Note: Unedited does not apply to works derived from or including footage from such a source, such as a Documentary or Television special. Coverage of an event with commentary would be placed under such categories as the form Television specials. Unedited could include sports coverage that is comprised of uninterrupted footage without commentary or commercials; see Sports (Nonfiction).
